It was such a shame that all they did was sit in Corona until their transfer to the for two months straight. Seeing them on the isn't the same because of those full-width cabs. 2081-2085 had the honor of being the last R62A to have left Corona, today, June 26, 2018. Only five singles are staying behind for work service. And the will soon follow in the 's (and 's) footsteps soon due to ENY becoming 100% NTT... Isn't the also 100% NTT? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An R68 & R68A set appeared on the for one weekend a few months ago, but besides that, trains are entirely NTT. If there is an issue where there aren't enough sets for the , you might be able to see one, but that's a very rare occurrence nowadays.

N6 Limited Posted June 27, 2018 Share #18881 Posted June 27, 2018 What does NTT stand for? Also can CBTC be used to move trains between yards, etc. without a T/O present? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also can CBTC be used to move trains between yards, etc. without a T/O present? NTT = New Technology Train - that is, all of the new trains that have been developed since the late '90s up until now. That's the R110 (the NTT prototypes), the R142(A)s, R143s, R160s, and R179s, and presumably anything that comes out in the future. I'm not sure that any yard tracks are actually equipped with CBTC, even Canarsie or Corona, though even if they were, I don't think that any of our trains are capable of driverless operation, but I could be wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is because of the “Cuomo scheme” overhauls. Some Coney Island sets which were R160B’s were overhauled to make more standing space in the cars. They sent those R160B’s to Jamaica for service. In return, Jamaica sent some of their R160A sets. This way niether yard would have a car shortage.

Around the Horn Posted June 29, 2018 Share #18886 Posted June 29, 2018 Does anyone know when/why they've started to put up these vinyl wraps of historical scenes near current subway stations? Not saying I don't like them (I actually think this one is quite nice), but I'm just curious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t working for the longest time .Now it started again . My best part is the history of how long the trip took. Unforunely from iOS 10 it doesn’t show the seconds anymore so you don’t really know if the train is in Service or now . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coney Island Av Posted June 29, 2018 Share #18889 Posted June 29, 2018 Lol I came across this on the today : That's right, an R32 rollsign that STILL had knobs. I was at Inwood-207 St, and was walking down the platform when I immediately saw this R32 with a rollsign set to the . Something wasn't right, so I walked inside, and surprise surprise, I saw this. It's rare because there's only four R32s that have these knobs. Also, some other railfan/foamer changed it, not me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
